Both the Kaghzi in Maharashtra and in Gujarat have caste associations that settle disputes and look after their communities.

Prayer Points

* Pray that as the Kaghzi read about Jesus Christ in the Koran that they will want to know what the Bible says and that this will lead them to give their lives to Him.
* Pray that the leaders of the caste associations will come to Jesus Christ and lead the Kaghzi community to Him.
